#WorldAnimalDay



To raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe. Building the celebration of World Animal Day unites the animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals.  It's celebrated in different ways in every country, irrespective of nationality, religion, faith or political ideology.  Through increased awareness and education we can create a world where animals are always recognised as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare.

  1. I didn't know about World Animal Day until I saw a post on Facebook today. Of course, we should be conscious of animal welfare every day.

  15. Very nice. We need our mom every day, and we try to help other animals in need when we can...like adopting cats...not sure if I agree on that one, but Mom says we have to have cats.
